Dr. Martens have long been favored by punks, mods & ska lovers the world over, but the quintessential British footwear brand is seeing a phenomenal resurgence. Thanks to bloggers, fashionistas & celebs like Alexa Chung & Agyness Deyn, Asos has seen sales of the classic air-cushioned soled boots soar by 230%. Pretty impressive huh?!

Why I love them? They’re perfect for trudging through the mean streets of Dublin when it’ s bucketing- Converse not so much..Plus they’re perfect for rocking a day-time grunge look & much comfier than 6 inch heels- result! You even get to feel a little bit rebellious as you lace them up- just a tad!

They don’t have to be plain old black anymore either- there’s a style for everyone, even the most girliest of girls!;D

Ever since models sashayed downed the catwalk in these Miu Miu beauties, everyone’s been after some glitz for their shoe collection. Perfect for adding a little bit (or a lot!) of sparkle to your Winter wardrobe.

I’m feeling some serious D-I-S-C-Os coming on! With these babies on your footsies you’ll be bringing the disco EVERYWHERE!! While my paltry budget may not quite stretch to the fuschia Miu Miu cuties above (just yet!), there’s plenty of more purse friendly options on offer..wohoo!! Good news for magpies everywhere!

Beware: This particular trend may result in women the world over staring at their own feet….a lot.
